Several events are yet to happen to Constantine, if indeed they happen at all, and others have been removed entirely to allow a more streamlined, intuitive history. My Constantine is younger, brasher, bolder, but still tormented and scarred, with some aspects edited and shaken up to allow him personal quirks that will serve to truly mark him as my own interpretation of his character. Hopefully, he is one that will enter the AbsoluteComics universe a better fit, and one that will not appear jarring alongside the capes and costumes of other characters.​[/i][/color][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=BDB76B][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]N O T E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR] [indent][indent] [b][i][u][color=000000]T I M E L I N E :[/color][/u][/i][/b] [color=000000][b]♦ 1990 | [/b][/color][color=696969][i]John Constantine is born in Liverpool.
